Brain activity study in children with overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at brain activity in children with overactive bladder and daytime wetting compared to healthy children. It uses MRI scans to understand how the brain controls the bladder, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has overactive bladder (a sudden need to pee) and wets at least 2 times a week
- Your child pees more than 3 times a day
- Your child is otherwise healthy with a normal physical exam
- No metal implants (like braces or pacemakers) that prevent MRI scans
- No history of certain bladder treatments or medicines (like mirabegron or oxybutynin)
- No current constipation or stool accidents

This research study compares the bacteria in urine, around the genital area, and in stool between children with overactive bladder (frequent urgent need to urinate) and healthy children. The goal is to understand if differences in these bacteria might explain why some children develop overactive bladder.
This trial looks at a treatment for overactive bladder in adult men. If you qualify, you may be asked to follow study instructions and report symptom changes during treatment.
This study tests whether a “triggered” nerve stimulation therapy can help people with nerve-related bladder problems hold urine better and empty their bladder more comfortably. It mainly looks at whether the approach is safe and workable for patients.
This study tests two medicines (solifenacin and mirabegron) alone and together to see which works best for children with daytime wetting. It is for children ages 5 to 14 who still have accidents after trying non-drug treatments.
This study tests a new way to treat overactive bladder in children and teens using a tiny needle that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve near the ankle. It aims to reduce urgent bathroom trips and daytime leakage without surgery.
This study looks at whether adjusting the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) can help children who wet the bed at night. Participants will have brain scans and receive treatment to regulate their sleep-wake cycle, hoping to reduce bedwetting episodes.
